The overall architectural style of Yuquan Cave is very similar to that of Jiangyun Cave. The difference is that the main city here, Yuquan City, is several times or even dozens of times more prosperous than Jiangyun City.
The main reason is that Yuquan City is the original foundation of Zhijing Cave Heaven, and has gathered many student monks from the other three caves, including many strange demon cultivators, merchants and hawkers are also common, making it very lively.
Looking at Qingyun who was looking around, Zhu Xianning asked with a smile:
"What are you looking at?"
"Uh... I think Yuquan City, oh no, I should say Zhijing Cave Heaven is very tolerant, unlike some places in Kyushu that are very repulsive to heterogeneous monks."
"Yes, the sect has always advocated seeking common ground while reserving differences, and the bright moon is in our arms, especially in Yuquan City. You can exchange credits here, and you can also barter privately, even for spiritual stones."
"Ah? Spiritual stones are also okay? Doesn't the sect prohibit students from using spiritual stones to trade without permission?"
Qingyun said in surprise.
"The sect has its own monitoring mechanism. If you use spirit stones, if the amount is too large, you will be supervised, and the jade tablet will also respond, so students usually barter in private."
Zhu Xianning took the trouble to explain that it was obvious that he, the great alchemist, had also come from his student days and was very aware of some twists and turns. Immediately afterwards, Mu Dongting also agreed.
"This is only for students. If we exist, the sect has no control over what kind of transaction method is used. Moreover, we old people are no longer students and have no credits."
"Haha, Senior Mu is joking."
Qingyun grinned, not expecting that the upright and majestic Mu Dongting would also make jokes, and then Zhu Xianning continued to answer:
"There are actually disadvantages to being so open about the sect."
"Oh? Disadvantages?"
As the two big guys gained more knowledge, my curiosity was suddenly piqued.
"Well, an overly tolerant atmosphere over the years will greatly reduce the cohesion and centripetal force of the disciples. Ask yourself, Qingyun, have you ever truly regarded Zhijing Cave as your sect or home?"
"this…"
The young man fell into silence for a moment.
Zhu Xianning stopped and did not go deep, and the three of them quickly arrived at the teleportation formation in the city.
After being awakened by Yao Mengxun and Long Fushi yesterday, Qingyun discovered that the teleportation array in Zhijing Cave is basically made of jade.
"What a sin. People say that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. I think you should refine elixirs first!"
The young master couldn't help but sigh. He secretly made up his mind. Not only would he get the teleportation array today, but for the sake of his eldest sister, he would also have to find a way to get a good piece of spiritual jade from the Pan family!
And in fact, Qingyun had already hatched a vicious plan in his heart!
Mu Dongting and Zhu Xianning were obviously famous figures. They let the guarding monks go without even taking out the jade tokens. When it was Qingyun's turn, they didn't ask for it, but the young master still cooperated and took out his identity jade tokens. .
"Huh?"
The guarding monk let out a sigh, obviously not recognizing this strange-colored jade token.
"You don't need to check him. If the superiors ask, just tell me my name."
While talking, Zhu Xianning pulled Qingyun and walked towards the teleportation array. The obedient guarding monks held their hands and did not dare to stop him.
But the strange thing is that Mu Dongting suddenly stopped and froze on the spot, his thick eyebrows and big eyes staring at the glazed jade tablet that Qing Yunshang had not had time to put away.
"Senior Mu, is there any problem?"
"This jade token..."
Mu Dongting stopped talking.
"Uncle Mu..."
Zhu Xianning glanced at him quickly as if to convey a message, and then Mu Dongting's eyes first changed from doubt to shock, and then from shock to surprise, which made the young man's scalp numb.
"That's it, no wonder, no wonder~"
Wuzi sighed in confusion. In the end, Mu Dongting looked at Qingyun with less serious eyes than in the past, and with more equality and gentleness.
"What's the wonder?"
Young Master Zhang Er was confused.
"It's nothing. Let's go. The Pan family's territory is quite far away from Yuquan City. Let's not waste time."
Zhu Xianning urged.
"yes!"
Qingyun nodded, and the three of them completely entered the teleportation array under the awed gaze of the guarding monks.
"Master Zhu is right. Zhijing Cave does lack some ideological education. When you have time in the future, you can come to Yuquan Cave and have a good time."
The isolated life made the environment of Zhijing Cave Heaven particularly peaceful and peaceful. They crossed four or five cities in succession and flew for a long time. Qingyun, who was carefully memorizing the route, did not notice a fight.
Following Zhu Xianning and Mu Dongting, it took nearly two hours for Qingyun to finally get a glimpse of the true appearance of the Pan family courtyard in a dense forest surrounded by mountains and rivers, half-hidden by his pipa.
"Oh~ It's so luxurious~"
Don’t look at the fact that Pan’s courtyard is located deep in the jungle, surrounded by trees, but with a stream in front and a mountain behind it, it’s a perfect Feng Shui treasure!
From far to near, it can be seen from the surrounding blue clouds that the Pan family mansion has extremely complex polishing on the details, whether it is the structural frame or the external decoration, and the level of craftsmanship can be regarded as the pinnacle.
The key is that the Pan family, who was born in the Jade Confucian Sect, will never use ordinary stones wherever beautiful jade can be used for decoration. Some high-grade spiritual jades reflect the dazzling brilliance of the sun and can make people dizzy even if they don't get close.
"It's so stinky to show off. Aren't you afraid that someone will come and steal it at night? No wonder you have to hide in the deep mountains and old forests."
The young man has a dark heart.
Before a few people got close, Mu Dongting calmed down his momentum. It was obvious that he did not want to offend the Pan family easily unless it was absolutely necessary.
Zhu Xianning, who was wearing a jade pot pill robe, was quickly recognized by the monks at the door, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Having seen this master, I feel disappointed."
"Zhu Xianning, Xingzhi Palace."
Teacher Zhu was polite and introduced himself.
"It turns out to be Master Zhu Alchemy. I'm sorry to say that I'm so rude. I wonder what you mean by your coming here?"
"Is your head still in retreat?"
"The head of the family has been in seclusion for several years, and Elder Yue Zhi is currently in charge of all matters, big and small."
"Pan Yuezhi? Okay, please let me know on my behalf that Zhu Xianning, the magistrate of the palace, and Mu Dongting, the guard of Mr. Fei...are visiting."
"Yes, I would like to ask some people to wait in the living room."
"lead the way."
The monk who was introduced to him was neither humble nor overbearing, and the conversation between the two was smooth and flowing. Putting aside their grudges and hatreds, the Pan family's treatment of people gave Qingyun a good feeling.
Mu Dongting did not speak, leaving everything to Zhu Xianning.
On the way to the living room, Qingyun observed the layout of the Pan family while listening to Zhu Xianning's introduction.
"Pan Yuezhi is one of the few great masters in the Soul Returning Realm of the Pan family. Although he is the weakest, his ability to handle family affairs is second only to the family leader Pan Yueren, so he has always relied on him."
"I see."
"In addition, Pan Yueren has no descendants, but Pan Yuezhi has many heirs, and Pan Lingnian is one of them. Therefore, once Pan Yueren returns to the ruins or retreats to the second line and is not involved in worldly affairs, the Pan family is likely to be overrun by Pan Yuezhi and others. Later generations took over, which is why he actively participated in the family business.”
"I didn't expect you, Master Zhu, to know the power structure of the Pan family quite well."
Qingyun smiled.
"Haha, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger."
Zhu Xianning also smiled calmly, but a trace of imperceptible solemnity seemed to flash across his originally strict face.
After introducing them into the living room, the ushering monk immediately arranged tea for the three guests, and he quickly entered the inner hall.
The young master had just taken a sip. He was so short of words that he didn't even have time to say the word "good tea" when hurried footsteps sounded, and a young monk who looked about thirty years old walked quickly from the inner hall. And out.
"Master Zhu Alchemy is here, and Yue Zhi is not far away to welcome you, but sometimes you are far away to welcome him! Oh, brother Mu, you are fine! Oh! My cultivation has improved again, I am happy to congratulate you, I am so happy to welcome you!"
The young man has a face that is not too handsome, and is of average build. Even the elegant robes inherited from the Pan family are rarely embellished with beautiful jade.
If it weren't for the powerful pressure that showed his strength in the Soul Returning Realm, his whole temperament would be simply too ordinary, much worse than the wealthy and powerful Pan Yueren.
But Pan Yueren puts too much pressure on people. Even if he restrains his cultivation, the oppressive feeling originating from his soul can still easily intimidate others.
But if you don't look at his cultivation level, this young man will actually give strangers a warm first impression. And from his polite and equal treatment of Zhu Xianning and Mu Dongting, which can be called an all-round and exquisite attitude, we can also see the depth of his city. , beyond imagination.
It is said that you should not hit someone with a smiling face, not to mention that Pan Yuezhi is still a senior in Guiling Realm. Master Zhu's attitude is very low. As for Mu Dongting, he is much colder and seems to be very cold to him.
"This little friend is..."
Seeing that the other party actually wanted to surrender to him, the young master was so frightened that he quickly bowed and clasped his fists, and introduced himself:
"Junior Qingyun, I have met senior Pan Yuezhi."
"Qingyun? Haha, it turns out he is a famous genius student from Jiangyundong. As expected, a hero comes from a young age, and his future life is formidable!"
Even though Qingyun thought he had some sharp eyesight, he couldn't see any change in expression on this person's face.
There wasn't even a slight twitch of the muscles, as if he didn't know the grudge between the Pan family and him at all. He almost made the young man think that the Pan family had wiped out the old grudges after robbing him of his sword.
"You only serve tea when a distinguished guest comes to your door? How do you do this? Come on, where are the precious fruit cakes?"
"Elder Pan, you are too polite."
"Master Jade Pot is so condescending. If you only had a cup of tea at my Pan's house, wouldn't it spread out and be laughed at?"
The more courteous and courteous Pan Yuezhi was, the more powerless Zhu Xianning felt as if he had punched cotton.
Fortunately, the coir raincoat sword wood Dongting was more powerful. He who had been sitting still put down his cup, and an invisible force suddenly spread out. Pan Yuezhi's expression did not change, but his clothes were shaken to the point of roiling.
Immediately afterwards, Pan Yuezhi's smile seemed to get even bigger, and then he stretched out his hand, and Mu Dongting's tea cup flew out of his hand and flew straight into his palm.
"Brother Mu, you think the tea is cold? Do you want me to make you another pot?"
Dingding~: In fact, the idea of Zhijingdongtian is similar to the current university. It may be because I am a poor student. Personally, I don’t have a strong sense of belonging to higher education institutions, even though I can still memorize the school motto, haha~
